We managed to surprise my dad. When he showed up at the restaurant last night two of my sisters who don't live locally were there as well as his mother. We had a blast and as I predicted, when the wait staff brought out the birthday cake and sung Happy Birthday, he said he still had a few days left before he actually turned 70. I was glad that the stars aligned just right for us all to be there.

--------I had a list of things I needed to get done this weekend. I got a lot done but somehow nothing from the list got done :/ I did spend all day cooking in hopes of not having to do much cooking during the week. And I just got my one sister off to the airport heading back to Florida. Oh well. Longer list next weekend, I guess.

--------Miami season premier tonight. I'm going to try to stay up for it but I have to be up early for class tomorrow. I really want to see it tonight. Last season was so much better than past few and this season is promising lots of action and old foes. I'm looking forward to it.
